1. Filed May 2, 2011Failure Apr 3, 2011107,041 milesRochester, NYPower train

   THE PROBLEM STARTED OVER FIVE WEEKS AGO. THE CAR WOULD NOT START ONCE I PUT IT IN PARK. I'VE HAD THE PARK NEUTRAL SENSOR SWITCHED CHANGED AND EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS WHICH IS AFTER THE FORTH OR FIFTH TIME I PUT IT IN PARK. I'VE HAD THE CALLED TOWED OVER 10 TIMES AND MY INSURANCE HAS BEEN CANCELED BECAUSE OF IT. THE DEALERSHIP JUST KEEP TIGHTENING THE GEAR SHIFT BUT AS I SAID WHEN I DRIVE IT, IT LOOSEN UP AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I THINK IT DOESN'T START BECAUSE THE SECURITY SYSTEMS KICKS IN WHEN I TRY TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR. *TR

   I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE 5 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS 1 MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE JIMMY USED AT REEDMANS AUTO WORLD IN PA. 2 MONTHS AFTER THAT IT WAS REPLACED AGAIN 6 MONTHS LATER AND EVERY WINTER SINCE. I HAVE HEARD THERE WAS A IONIC PROBLEM WITH THE JIMMYS THAT SEND AND ELECTRICAL CURRENT THE MOTOR, CAUSING THE HEATER CORES TO JUST EAT AWAY CAUSING THEM TO BE REPLACE. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS REPLACE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE JIMMY( THEY WERE ALSO REPLACED BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND MY READITOR SINCE THE MOTOR MOUNTS BROKE AND SENT THE ENGINE THRU MY RADIATOR. ALL PROBLEMS WERE FIXED MOSTLY AT THE DEALER. HOWEVER. THE HEATER CORE HAS NOW BLOWN AGAIN I HAVE NO HEAT OR AIR. IF I TURN THEM ONE THE COOLANT GUSHES OUT OF THE CAR. I NO LONGER HAVE A EXTRA WARRANTY(EXPIRED 8/06) AND CANNOT GET IT FIXED.. NOTHING SEEMS TO CORRECT THE HEATER CORE PROBLEM. 8AK

7. Filed Jan 10, 2003Failure Jan 1, 2003Mount Pleasant, SCElectrical system, Column shift

   NAR 1/29/2003. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE PASSENGER REAR VIEW MIRROR ROTATED TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY OUTSIDE ACTION. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CHANGED THE WIPING SEQUENCE AT ITS FREE WILL. THE DOORS LOCKED ON THEIR OWN AND THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN ON THEIR OWN. THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS IN 2 OR 4-WHEEL DRIVE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE SHIFTER WAS DEFECTIVE. *JB

8. Filed Sep 4, 2002Newbury, OHHeadlights

   THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE XENON BULBS, AND COST OVER $700 EACH TO REPLACE. I BELIEVE HEADLAMPS ARE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REASONABLY PRICED. MERCEDES ARE OVER $1200 EACH, AND BMW OVER $800. I'M AN AUTO MECHANIC AND SEE QUITE A FEW FAILURES, AND EACH TIME THE CUSTOMER DENIES THE WORK AND DRIVES ON 1 HEADLAMP, OR LEAVES THE HIGH BEAMS ON. I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE AN ALTERNATIVE REPLACEMENT, OR PRICE RESTRUCTURING ON THE DEALERS PART.*AK
